TL;DR

Simulations with industrial URLLC traffic show that the proposed method achieves higher schedulability than reactive HARQ, K-Repetition, and non-guaranteed proactive HARQ, with acceptable computational overhead.

Abstract

Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) requires strict reliability and latency guarantees for heterogeneous periodic traffic. Proactive HARQ improves resource efficiency through early termination, but slot-level timing effects, particularly delayed feedback, complicate schedulability analysis. This paper presents a discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC)-based framework for periodic flows with proactive HARQ. By expanding the state space, the model captures HARQ round-trip time and other cross-slot timing effects. The framework determines the transmission opportunities required to satisfy heterogeneous reliability and latency constraints and supports offset-based scheduling through a two-stage genetic algorithm. Simulations with industrial URLLC traffic show that the proposed method achieves higher schedulability than reactive HARQ, K-Repetition, and non-guaranteed proactive HARQ, with acceptable computational overhead.

Deadline-Aware SRPT Scheduling for Paxos Consensus

Paxos consensus protocol is widely used in distributed systems, yet their performance can degrade under heterogeneous workloads and deadline-constrained requests. Traditional priority-based Paxos extensions rely on static scheduling policies that are unable to adapt to dynamically changing urgency. This paper proposes...

Multi-Process Overlapping HARQ Durations for Periodic Time-Critical Communications Under Nonzero ACK Delay

In time-critical periodic communication, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) ensures stringent reliability and low latency. However, conventional fixed HARQ durations for periodic traffic can lead to resource over-provisioning and limited adaptation to deep fading. To improve resource efficiency, the Overlapping HAR...

Hierarchical Scheduler with Adaptive Time-Budget Reallocation for Time-Triggered Edge-Fog-Cloud Architectures

The lack of determinism restricts the integration of safety-critical applications into Edge–Fog–Cloud (EFC) architectures. Existing EFC schedulers are typically designed for dynamic, best-effort operation based on unmanaged resource allocation and elastic virtualization. This paradigm introduces unbounded queueing, res...
